Making Tangerine Juice And A Tangerine Smoothie

A tangerine smoothie to die for

My older sister has a citrus grove on her property. She grows lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines. She told me she had a big crop of tangerines that came in. I asked her to send me a few. The few turned out be quite a bit. I did not want to risk them spoiling so I decided to juice some of them.

I never had tangerine juice before. This juice tastes like a very sweet and tasty Tang drink. Anyone remembers Tang? When juicing was done there was a very slushy pulp left behind. I tasted it and it was pretty juicy and sweet.

So what should be done with that sweet juicy tasty pulp? Anyone thinking about a tangerine smoothie? That is exactly what I made, a tangerine smoothie.

I threw the pulp into the blender. I added some unsweetened almond milk, ice, and honey. I then blended it all. Three ingredients made a very tasty and healthy smoothie. It is vegan approved.

Experiment with your food. Most of the times it is edible. Sometimes it actually tastes very good. Enjoy!
